COMMENT THIS PHOTO(1)
Nice to see this. I've got a picture of her as the Karaghistan anchored in the Shatt Al Arab back in early 1965. It was already in the queue to be uploaded but I'll bump it up the list.
We loaded oil for Durban and on the way down were in touch with the Karaghistan. She was heading to Durban for an inspection after running aground up the gulf.
Regards, Dave
